With over 20 lakh candidates appearing for the NEET UG 2025 exam held on May 4, anticipation is running high across the country. This pivotal exam opens doors to medical programs like MBBS, BDS, BAMS, and BHMS, and students are now eagerly awaiting the release of the official results and answer key.
NEET UG 2025 Answer Key Release Date and Objection Process
The NEET UG 2025 provisional answer key is expected to be released soon on the official website neet.nta.nic.in. Once published, candidates will be able to raise objections to any discrepancies they spot. This objection window typically lasts for a few days and allows the National Testing Agency (NTA) to review challenges before publishing the final answer key.
Notably, the final NEET UG 2025 answer key is often released just hours before or simultaneously with the result announcement. Candidates are advised to keep an eye on official updates to avoid missing any important deadlines.
NEET UG 2025 Result Date and What to Expect
According to current expectations, the NEET UG 2025 result is likely to be declared on June 14, 2025. However, legal proceedings concerning test center issues in Indore and Ujjain—currently under review in the Madhya Pradesh High Court—could potentially delay the result announcement. Similar issues have also led to a stay order on results from certain centers by the Madras High Court.
Once released, candidates can check their NEET UG 2025 scorecard and merit list through either neet.nta.nic.in or exams.nta.ac.in/NEET. To access your result:
